    Not On The Sidewalk Either

    These law-mill zealots are creating the rope that they will wind up hanging themselves with. The steady erosion of individual rights is a slippery slope to navigate.

    Sterling Tobacco Samples...

    I'm a Customer of Jack's 1776 Tavern and Richmond Blender's Choice. I've wondered if Jack sources some of his blending components from the same places as Steve Books does. Both of these guys are at the head of the field as Master Blenders in North America and don't get the attention that...

    Won't ship to WA...

    The current situation in Washington state is a sad one for me. I spent a quarter of a century in the Pacific Northwest and have memories of smokey coffee houses, musty old bookstores infused with the room note of NightCap, grand old B&Ms and a lot of Pipe smokers around the University...

    Been meaning to post this for a while now

    Nice Pipe. I'm really a student of these Pipes, and don't consider myself an expert as there is still much to learn. I have 5 Bekler Meerschaums and enjoy them frequently. I've stayed away from his Figurals, preferring the more standard shapes. At the time, Bekler was regarded as the best...

    Just bought my first Meerschaum

    Thanks Duncan, but I really am a student in these matters. There really is so much more to know than what I've found so far. Congrats on the new Meerschaum! The myth that there is no break in period for Meerschaums has been around for years. Before you smoke the Pipe, clean it with...
